This is a parody of a poem by Countee Cullen displayed in my notes.
She thinks that Blond number seven
Will make her Zza Zza Gabor.
The herbal facial was like heaven;
The back rub was a chore.

You out there in the darkness
Picking up your pens
Need encouragement from the Lower East Side
Surely you can writing something as imaginative as Tolkien
Funny as Woody Allen
As moving as Countee Cullen. So pick up your pens
and write
send it to poetrysoup.com
No, you probably won't be able to quit the day job
Or maybe you will!

John Keats, Countee Mcullen
both died at an early age
Personally, I am quite grateful that
I have made it to 61
Yet. I salute those poetic souls
who got their message across
Before the nightfall we all face
The fate of mankind
may be a story
which is coming to a close
Global warming may close the chapter on us
Before sleep tonight, think of those poets
who died young
Willing to sacrifice so they
so they could get their message across
And who enriched the human experience
for all those who read their powerful words

Countee Cullen knew you, and you nectared him
Lambent voice when Harlem was wrapped in night
Artist and rebel, African singer of Grecian hymn
Umbilical to Jamaica, nightingale in Nietzschean flight
Deny not the laurels I lay at your feet
Encourage me to measure as I sing your feat.
Mentor of Langston from the village desk
Chronicler of blackness in its untenderness
Kingston remembers your ballads and text
Ark of nation language, before the temptress
Yarned with the tongue that feeds our bitterness.
